Answer to Question 1

steadily depress the patient's shoulders by gently pulling down on the wrists

Rationale: Depression of the shoulders can be applied steadily and manually by gently pulling down on the patient's wrists. If the patient is experiencing any paralysis to the arms or legs or the patient has fracture to the upper extremity, depression is not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

4th proximal interphalangeal joint

Rationale: Digits 2-5 for both the oblique and lateral views require the central ray to be directed to the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) in question.
